* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': Saber [[spoiler: aka Arturia Pendragon]], having been stopped in her natural growth at around the age of fifteen, had posed as a man, although a very {{Bishonen}} man.

However, she was under a genuine GenderBender spell at one time in her backstory, [[spoiler:which was how her "son" Mordred was conceived]].** She dresses in more contemporary menswear in ''Literature/FateZero'', a sharp, formal black suit. Irisviel fixates on what a handsome protector Saber makes, and contemplates what a beautiful couple they make when she's escorted in public by her. Kiritsugu's partner Maiya also dresses rather austere and masculine, and keeps her hair short.** Her daughter [[spoiler:Mordred]] also posed as a man, albeit a very {{Bishonen}} one, for at least part of her life as well, though this was partially helped along by her [[TheLadette attitude]] and the fact [[TinTyrant she almost never took off her armor in public]].
